Who has got the last laddoo ?!

In a village , there lived an old couple . They were childless . So , they don't have to do cooking for others . They don't have relatives too . All these made them misers .

Once , their neighbour had offered them laddoos of their son's birthday party . Old couple , for the first time have tasted a laddoo and they liked it .

 

Afterwards , they thought of preparing laddoos by themselves . Husband quickly went to market and bought all the ingredients required .

 

Wife had planned to prepare only 2 laddoos , one for each of them . But if they prepare laddoo in house , they have to share with neighbours .

 

Old couple don't want that . Hence they decided to go to nearby woods to prepare laddoos . Finally , wife prepared laddoos . But instead of 2 , she made 3 laddoos .

 

Both of them returned to their house . Now they have started quarelling on who will eat the extra laddoo ? Husband said he will as he went to market to buy the ingredients .

 

Wife didn't agree for that and said she will have the extra laddoo as she prepared them . Time passed but dispute was not solved .

 

Finally , they decided to be silent . Whoever first breaks the silence , he is the loser and he must give the extra laddoo to winner .

 

As it was late in the night , both of them slept by keeping the plate of laddoo in between . Soon , it became morning . None of them moved from their place fearing that they will lose the bet .

 

Time passed . Their neighbour was very curious to know why there is no sound coming from the house . He just peeped in the window . He saw old couple lying down without any movement .

 

He alarmed the whole village saying that old couple are dead . Whole village has gathered in the house of old couple . Still , old couple didn't do any movement fearing that they may lose the bet .




Villagers are now convinced that old couple are dead . They started preparations to do last rites of old couple . They brought the bodies to graveyard .

 

It was the time to ignite the bodies . Husband was very frightened by the sight of fire . He got up and said to his wife she has won the bet .

 

Listening to that , even wife jumped and got up . As villagers were puzzled by what is going on , old couple started running towards their house to eat laddoos .

 

But when they reached the house , they saw a stray dog having the byte of the last piece of laddoo !
